Well, we are mid-week here on the NSM. I've gotta ask ya...how's it going?

I had a challenge yesterday. I was getting ready to bake some oatmeal bread and learned I didn't have any brown sugar! What I used as my brown sugar container didn't contain brown sugar. It had whole wheat flour in it and I FORGOT! I wondered if there was something else I could use as a substitute for the brown sugar. I would normally have not thought twice about running to the store to spend $1.50 to buy some brown sugar. Well, that kinda of thinking has got to change! So I asked my friends on the Sonlight forum because I know someone there would know. I was right! I learned that all I needed to do was add molasses to white sugar. I had no idea I could make my own brown sugar! I am a hapy girl...yee haw!!! So here's how you do it...

Psalm 31:1-5

1) In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;let me never be put to shame;deliver me in your righteousness.2) Turn your ear to me,come quickly to my rescue;be my rock of refuge,a strong fortress to save me.3) Since you are my rock and my fortress,for the sake of your name lead andguide me.4) Free me from the trap that is set for me,for you are my refuge.5) Into your hands I commit my spirit;redeem me, O Lord, the God of truth.========================

Lord I thank you for showing us this verse which speaksso deeply to what we are going through at this time inour lives. We praise YOU and take refuge in YOU, dear Lord.
